Fortnite Season 3 Battle Pass rewards, skins and items explained

Fortnite Season 3 introduced a new rank and set of rewards for players to unlock over the coming months.

Many of these are locked behind the purchase of a Season 3 Battle Pass, giving you access to new skins, emotes and XP multipliers - provided you then put in the time and effort to then unlock them, of course.

Fortnite Seasons and Battle Pass explained

Every few months, Fortnite enters a new season. Seasons give you a new opportunity to unlock a variety of rewards - including new character and weapon skins, loading screens, emotes and emoticons, and even V-Bucks - by levelling up over the course of the season.

The vast majority of these rewards, however, are locked behind Battle Pass ownership. While you can unlock a select number of the above with a Free Pass, it's only with a Battle Pass that a second tier of elusive rewards are unlocked.

The Battle Pass is a premium item, costing 950 V-Bucks. You can buy a bundle of 1,000 V-Bucks for around Ł8 / $10.

These are a new set of Challenges introduced weekly, ranging from performing certain types of activities or finding hidden objects on the map. Completing them helps you rank up your Battle Pass easier, give you those rewards faster.

Both these Battle Pass Challenges and the rewards can be unlocked at your leisure throughout the season, but once Season 4 begins, your progress resets, and a new set of rewards and rankings will begin.
